POLL: Grade the Chargers pick of DT Justin Jones

The Chargers drafted former North Carolina State defensive tackle Justin Jones at No. 84 overall.

The interior defensive line’s production and effectiveness dropped off dramatically in 2017 for Los Angeles, meaning it was time to draft a defensive tackle. After getting the best player available at No. 17 in safety Derwin James and addressing the linebacker position at No. 48 in LB Uchenna Nwosu, it was time for them to fill the glaring hole.

Jones might have filled a big need, but there were players on the board that were rated higher than he was that included former Virginia Tech DT Tim Settle, USF DT Deadrin Senat and even Michigan DT Maurice Hurst.

The Bolts received an B- grade from Chargers Wire for their selection of the versatile former Wolfpack defensive tackle, only because we felt they could’ve went with a more superior player with the pick. Chargers fans, tell us what you think about L.A. selecting Jones by voting in the poll below.
